I’m legitimately confused by this. Why would you want an inherently less entropic piece of data that is inherently handled less securely to secure your data?

Yea, I’d rather have a 32 character password created by my password manager. Instead of adding individual keys to each device, having all decives access the same database is much simpler.

Convinience is a key part. Let’s say I have bought a new device and have 50 accounts on different platforms. The way I’d do with only passkeys is that you would create 50 different keys individually for your new device, using a device that has logged in.
Password manager? I download a keepass compatible app, have it connect to my FTP for its database, enter my unnecessarily long key word or a random file i store seperately; and now I can access to all of my accounts.
As long as I do not somehow get both my database and its key word/file leaked at the same time, my accounts are as safe as whatever passkeys can provide.

I mean, you can shove your passkeys into a password manager. It’s not actually “one per device” despite what seems to be the original intent.

I think the only passkey I have is stored in my VaultWarden. Though it only works in browsers atm.

Works on android too.

Windows recently introduced support for Passkeys.
But it can only be used with Bitwarden, if you have Windows Hello enabled ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
And I don’t want to use anything else than a regular password.
